Mini blender for kitchen prep?

| What's the most convenient way to blend garlic, ginger, herbs, dried spices if you're making an Indian or Thai curry? I want to cook more curries from scratch, but the process of grating ginger and garlic and other ingredients by hand is a pain. And I don't want to bring out my huge Cuisinart because that's a pain to clean. Thanks. |

| If you mean those little personal blenders - they suck at blending anything but liquid and a little powder. |

| I have a Preethi mixer with the metal jars. It’s perfect for Indian cooking. I can make dry powders and grind wet ingredients in small quantities without adding extra water. |

This is the answer. I've had mine since 2012 and it's finally starting to show signs of wear so I am happily replacing it with the exact same model. |

I have a little mini-chopper that's great. It's not a blender, however. More like a mini food processor. I believe mine is made by proctor-silex.
My kitchen-aid food processor came with a mini-bowl and I also use that a lot. |

the mini chop processors are great for herbs. For a ginger or garlic cheat, grab this at trader joes!

My 25 yr old just “borrowed” mine that I’ve had since before she was born. |

Giant sells squeeze tube garlic and ginger and some others (in the open refrigerated herb section). The ginger is remarkably good. |
